Moscow (AFP) - Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny announced he had filed a lawsuit against President Vladimir Putin on Thursday over alleged graft, accusing him of ordering huge loans to a firm owned by his son-in-law.

"I sued Putin over Putin's son-in-law and I am sure that I will win," Navalny wrote on his blog, accusing the Russian leader of violating anti-corruption legislation to benefit Kirill Shamalov, who recently married the Russian leader's daughter Katerina.

Citing public records and statements, Navalny said that Shamalov came to own a stake in petrochemical company Sibur shortly before Putin allegedly ordered that it be provided with $1.75 billion in cheap financing from Russia's national welfare fund.

I bet Navalny is going to get depressed and fall out of a window in the near future…

"I sued Putin over Putin's son-in-law and I am sure that I will win,"

If by winning he means "premature death", then yes.

Russophiles should check on Litvenenko and what he said, I know they have a song and dance about everything. Pretty sickening for their billionaire leader and his Muslim cohorts in Chechnya terrorizing the nation. Russophiles really are Putinistas and don’t care about the people of Russia.
